Winner of the Agatha Award for "Death of a Cozy Writer, "which initially won the Malice Domestic grant, G.M. MALLIET attended Oxford University and holds a graduate degree from the University of Cambridge, the setting for her previous series, the St. Just mysteries.
"Malliet has mastered the delights of the cozy mystery so
completely that she seems to be channeling Agatha Christie...
[with] ironic humor that contribute[s] a little spice to the
village charm, making the story even more delicious. Religion,
espionage, tea, and crumpets: a winning menu." --"Booklist,
"starred review "Agatha Award-winning author Malliet ("Death of a
Cozy Writer") debuts a superb new series... You'll marvel at the
author's low-key humor and crystal-clear depictions of small-town
life... Malliet, like Louise Penny, brings a contemporary freshness
to the traditional mystery."
--"Library Journal, "starred review "Hugely funny, exquisitely well
written, "Wicked Autumn "is a tongue-in-cheek village mystery to be
savored. G.M. Malliet's arch tone and wry humor make her a writer
to be treasured."
--Julia Spencer-Fleming, bestselling author of ONE WAS A
SOLDIER
"A superb novel! Filled with humor and insight, G.M. Malliet
creates a fabulous setting in Nether Monkslip and a great series
hero in Father Max Tudor. Rarely have I read descriptions that have
left me gasping, in both their hilarity and their painful truth. A
wonderful read." --Louise Penny, Agatha award-winning author of the
Armand Gamache mysteries
"""One of the most delightful English village mysteries I've read
since Agatha Christie stopped writing about Saint Mary Mead. G.M.
Malliet's sly allusions to both Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot will
make Christie fans chuckle, but Nether Monkslip is no village that
time forgot--not with its new age citizenry and a vicar who's a
dishy ex-MI5. Highly recommended."
--Margaret Maron, Edgar, Anthony, Agatha winner, and author of
CHRISTMAS MOURNING
"A contemporary and deliciously wicked homage to Agatha Christie's
village mysteries, with an equally delicious hero who is infinitely
sexier than Miss Marple. Once readers meet handsome, intelligent,
witty MI5 spy-turned-Anglican priest Max Tudor, they'll be
searching their maps for the village of Nether Monkslip!"--Deborah
Crombie, New York Times bestselling author of NECESSARY AS
BLOOD"
""""G. M. Malliet has brought the village cozy into the 21st
century--where else could the Vicar be retired from MI5? Written
with dry humor and a wickedly accurate portrait of the modern
English village, "Wicked Autumn" is a refreshing and fun read for
everyone who loves a really good murder." --Charles Todd, NY Times
